Description

Liquid


Liquid


Diethyl maleate is a maleate ester resulting from the formal condensation of both carboxy groups of maleic acid with ethanol. A colourless liquid at room temperature (m.p. -10℃) with boiling point 220℃ at 1 atm., it is commonly used as a dienophile for Diels-Alder-type cycloaddition reactions in organic synthesis. It has a role as a glutathione depleting agent. It is a maleate ester and an ethyl ester. It derives from an ethanol.

Diethyl maleate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The preparation method is mainly prepared by esterification of maleic anhydride and ethanol in the presence of sulfuric acid. This process has two kinds of phenyl esterification under normal pressure and non-phenyl esterification under negative pressure. (1) At normal pressure, there is benzene esterification. A certain amount of benzene and ethanol are added to the esterification reaction pot, maleic anhydride is added, concentrated sulfuric acid is added dropwise with stirring, and the jacket steam is heated to make the reactant at about 75 ℃ Carry out the esterification reaction. The generated water, benzene and ethanol are removed by ternary azeotropic distillation, and the upper layer of benzene and ethanol liquid is returned to the reactor. After about 13-14 hours, when the temperature of the top of the distillation tower rose to 68.2°C and the water level of the lower layer of the separator no longer rose, it indicated that all the water in the reaction pot had been distilled off and the esterification reaction was completed. Stop reflux, continue to distill to 95~100℃, distill out benzene and ethanol. Cooling down to about 50 ℃, neutralizing treatment with 5% sodium carbonate aqueous solution, washing with water and then removing residual benzene and ethanol in vacuum to obtain the product diethyl maleate. (2) Negative pressure non-phenyl esterified maleic anhydride and ethanol are esterified under the action of sulfuric acid. Under certain vacuum and temperature, the ethanol and the water produced by the reaction are taken out in a gaseous state, and then the ethanol is separated and refluxed through a fractionation tower Esterification makes the reaction complete. This method can shorten the reaction cycle, improve the yield and product quality, and improve the operating environment. Most domestic manufacturers use this method. In addition, cation exchange resin can also be used as a catalyst for exchange conversion to prepare diethyl maleate.
